Since half a year ago, Xiao Zuoqing had been sent to the Ying Mansion in Wangyan City. However, Xiao Zuochen did not restrict his freedom too much. He and Xiao Nianqing could walk around freely in the mansion. He even set up a small market in the garden for fear that they would be bored. When Zuo Xin and Wei Changmei were bored, they acted as "business owners" to sell goods to them. Of course, Xiao Zuoqing also received a lot of monthly allowances, and Zuo Xin also sold small items to them at normal prices.

"Are they still these? They're pretty much the same as last week~"

Xiao Zuoqing picked and chose for a long time but still couldn't find anything he liked.

"Brother, there are only so many things in the market. I bought every one of them for you. It is impossible for him to have new ones every week. Besides, he is such a big kid, what toys will he play with all the time?"

Zuo Xin looked at Xiao Nianqing, who was already ten years old, and even the corners of her mouth showed a look of disgust. Wei Changmei gently nudged her shoulder, and she put away her expression.

"He's still a kid."

Wei Changmei said in a low voice.

"Oh~"

Xiao Zuoqing was holding something and asking Xiao Nianqing whether he liked it, when a servant suddenly came in.

"Miss Zuo, Miss Wei, His Royal Highness Prince Yun has sent a message."

Except for Xiao Nianqing, the other three looked at the servant. Zuo Xin and Wei Changmei looked at each other and then gestured to the servant.

"You come and sell the goods to them."

"Yes."

The servant took the order and walked to the side of the stall, standing there with his head bowed. Zuo Xin and Wei Changmei walked out of the yard hand in hand. As soon as they left, the servant raised his head and looked at Xiao Zuoqing.

"Your Highness Prince Qing, Princess Qing has something for me to pass on to you!"

......

“Oh my god, Xiao Zuochen finally let Xiao Zuoqing go!”

Zuo Xin almost jumped up when she looked at the letter in her hand.

"I really don't want to look after these two babies, one big and one small, every day!"

"Keep your voice down so no one can hear you."

Wei Changmei knew that Zuo Xin was almost annoyed by these two people, but there were other family forces in Tai'an who were eyeing them covetously. The only thing they could do was to help Xiao Zuochen look after Prince Qing. Fortunately, everything had been settled, and Xiao Zuoming lived up to everyone's expectations and supported the Xiao family.

Zuo Xin handed the letter to Wei Changmei, then walked to the window, held the window frame with both hands and looked out.

"You said, Xiao Zuochen agreed to let Xiao Zuoqing go back to Tai'an, why didn't he send someone to take him back? Instead, he asked Princess Qing's people to pick him up. I don't know if they know the way. Don't delay him for a few more days on the road."

Wei Changmei folded the letter and put it away, then shook his head helplessly after hearing Zuo Xin's words.

"Why worry about this? We have done everything we can. Now that everything is settled, we can live our lives in peace from now on."

Wei Changmei walked to Zuo Xin's side, they smiled at each other and looked out the window together.

"But did you find the servant just now unfamiliar?"

"Are you serious? The princess will send someone to take us back? Did Xiao Zuochen agree?"

Xiao Zuoqing also received the news. He was surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

The servant also answered respectfully.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The princess has already discussed this with Prince Yun, and it was Prince Yun who told the princess your current address, so I rode over here as fast as I could to sneak into the Ying Mansion, and to ensure that the news of your return to the capital can be delivered on time."

"What do you mean by this?"

Xiao Zuoqing is puzzled

"The princess is worried that His Royal Highness Prince Yun might not let you go, but now that the news from His Royal Highness Prince Yun has reached us, it all depends on what the two concubines have to say."

Xiao Zuoqing nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes. Just as he was thinking, a maid came over to report.

"Your Highness Prince Qing, the two concubines ask you to go to the front hall."

"Well, I understand."

Zuo Xin and the other two told Xiao Zuoqing about the situation, and the news was the same as what Xiao Zuoqing had received. After they finished talking, they immediately went shopping hand in hand without even looking at him.

Xiao Zuoqing originally thought that they would make things a little difficult for him, but now it seems that no one cares about him at all.

"Can we leave now?"

Xiao Zuoqing couldn't even believe that all this happened so suddenly, and he stood at the gate of the movie palace and tried again and again.

"Father, are we going back to see Mother?"

Xiao Nianqing was also very happy, as he hadn't seen his mother for a long time. Although he had no worries about food and drink here every day, the servants didn't listen to him at all, unlike in his own house where he could do whatever he wanted.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we can set off tonight."

That night, Baili Qing's people arrived as expected.

"Your Majesty! Let's set off quickly, so as to avoid any more troubles!"

Xiao Zuochen's men did not stop them at all, but Xiao Zuoqing was afraid and worried, so the whole process of leaving the house seemed a little flustered.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

When the servant saw Xiao Zuoqing almost tripped himself because he was walking too fast, he hurriedly reminded him.

"It's okay, let's go back quickly!"

Although they had no shortage of food and clothing in this movie palace in the past six months, Xiao Zuoqing did not take anything he bought here when he left. He had no attachment to those things at all. He even wished he had never lived here.

"Father, how long will it take to get home from here?"

Xiao Nianqing asked his father while swaying in the car.

"Well, if we rush back non-stop, it will take seven or eight days."

"So long? But aren't Tai'an City and Wangyan City next to each other? Why does it take so long?"

Xiao Nianqing had never been far away. The last time he came to Wangyan City, the emperor's uncle sent someone to escort him. The guard had a cold face and looked very fierce, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to move the whole time.

However, this time he was riding in a carriage with his father, so he was naturally not afraid. Xiao Zuoqing also patiently answered his questions.

"Yes, they are adjacent to each other, but each city also has its own suburbs, mountains, fields, lakes, etc. The distance we have to travel is not just the size of the city we usually live in."

Xiao Nianqing nodded, indicating that he understood, and Xiao Zuoqing accompanied him to look at the scene outside the carriage. It must be said that the folk customs of Wangyan City are really simple, and this place is famous for flowers. Women will wear one or two flowers on their heads, and men will wear flowers on their bodies.

As the carriage passed by the city gate, Xiao Zuoqing felt a little sad that he had not had the chance to take his son for a good stroll here.

"Nianqing~"

Xiao Zuoqing looked at his son with pity.

"Hmm? Father, you called me?"

"Do you like the scenery here?"

Xiao Nianqing thought about it.

"Hmm... I like it. It looks very different from Tai'an City!"

"Oh? Why is it different?"

"Tai'an City has a golden feel, while Wangyan City has a colorful feel. Look at my father, even the wild flowers on the roadside are bright and colorful~"

Xiao Zuoqing glanced out the window.

"Okay, then I promise you that I will bring you to Wangyan City to play next time, okay?"

"Okay, let's make a pinky promise~"

"Hook!"

"Hang yourself with a hook and don't change for a hundred years!"

"Hahaha~"

Xiao Zuoqing looked at Xiao Nianqing's innocent smile, and the haze in his heart was driven away a lot. Perhaps such an ordinary life is suitable for him. He is also tired~
